Our Technology
Problem
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) present a significant unmet medical need with no current therapeutic solutions. Affected individuals experience partial or complete loss of sensation and movement, along with complications like bladder control issues, neuropathic pain, and breathing difficulties.
Solution
A neurosurgical implant acts as a bandage for spinal cord injuries, enhancing recovery of movement and sensation in complete lesion rats.
Our Device
Our patented chitosan based hydrogel particles (microgel) are designed for nervous system repair. It reduces cavity formation, promotes nerve fiber reconnection, offering a groundbreaking repair solution.
Breakthrough in Nerve Repair
Our chitosan microgel, has shown incredible results in rats, enabling them to walk again. We observe significant axonal growth within the injury site. This breakthrough demonstrates potential to revolutionize spinal cord injury care.
